....on an '86 glhs?

i presume it was same as on any other glh turbo block, were they painted black? or left natural? maybe natural with a anti-oxidation clear coating?

thanks.

thanks, i was thinking black since i see a lot of black paint on the block now and i wanted to be certain.

Steve do you know if it was a gloss black or a satin?

Black to hide the leaking oil mess

FSM and MP Book both say all the 2.2/2.5 engines were painted black.

Semi gloss best describes the sheen. Full gloss would be too much.
